Another From Across The Ditch

Hi all,

another one from the shaky isles.  Came across this forum when it was mentioned on FreshAlloy.com. Good to see a forum dedicated to the V-series as well.  I'm the owner of a 2002 V35 300GT S-spec sedan. I purchased it in 2005. Previously I owned a 1992 R32 GTS25.

Looks like a lot of 350 GT-8 and 350GT coupe owners in Australia. In NZ I tend to notice a lot more sedans. The coupes definitely command a higher premium. Have seen some V36 sedans coming through - prices for these near new cars go from the low $NZ30k (for a 250GT) to the mid $NZ40k (for a 350GT).

A little heavy on the gas in town 13-14l/100km (better than the GTS25 though!) but on the open road high 8l/100km are easily doable.  I reckon it'd probably be good for 800+km if it was all open road.

Interiors on V35 are somewhat variable, easily better than the R32 I had but still not quite as nice as the Europeans.  The S-spec has a better interior with the black half leather than that ecru stuff which in my opinion is a bit hideous. :P

All in all a nice car.

Cheers,

Derek.

Welcome, you still get more decent cars for decent $ though. I do know the fuel prices are a bit heftyier than ours is. Whats the average price now?

Petrol (the 95 octane variety) is currently $NZ2.19 per litre in Auckland (you'll pay more this in more remote areas).

      Parts required for 4:11 diff gears in an R34 GTR Vspec (A-LSD)

      By djvoodoo · Posted

      It's good, but not as good as some people make it out to be on social media. Yes, you can feel the torque come in earlier, yes, it does make the car feel more lively below 4000rpm, and yes, it does feel more responsive, but it's not this 'unicorn' mod.  Everyday driving? Below 100km/h on Australian roads, it's worth it. At 110km in 6th gear mine will sit on about 2860rpm. Doing a Motorkhana or a small circuit? Yes, it's worth it. Doing Texas style speed runs? Prob not. Do you use the gears more? Yes and No. Doing 60/70km on most roads, I'm using the gears just like any other Getrag. 80km and above, you use 5th and 6th more often. Absolutely no issues driving with the 33 A-LSD. Didn't change the front diff, only changed the C&P wheel. Some people say to upgrade to a Quaife etc, but i've had no issue with torque steer or having it wander all over the road. The one thing that no-one really addresses is the issue of the Speedo being out. It's either use a speedo corrector, find a 33 gearbox speed sensor, or use an aftermarket display with GPS speedo.

      That would be a rarity. You can emulate the function of the stalk just by bridging the appropriate pins in the connector. If you can make it function correctly by doing so, then the wiring etc is OK and it is the stalk.

      I've had these LEDs and a LED EP34 flasher relay in the car since 2020. No fuses were popped either. I'll multimeter and clean off the tarnish tomorrow. From how the lights were acting after I diddle the stick make me lean towards a stalk problem.

      Are you sure you can use LEDs in the indicator lamps? On a car that old? It doesn't work on many old cars because the indicator relay can't cope with the wrong impedance out at the lamp positions and the LEDs will happily light up even with minimal current flowing through the indicator relay. And when I say "indicator relay" I mean the flasher, not a relay relay. Beyond that, I would say that you have caused yourself a wiring fault and that you would be well advised to work through the wiring diagram and the actual loom with a multimeter.
